Well, of your two name servers, one is not responding at all, and the
other is refusing queries:

ucan[~]$ dig mcbc-dc.org ns @ns1.wppi.net.

ucan[~]$ ^1^2
dig mcbc-dc.org ns @ns2.wppi.net.

ucan[~]$ 


Makes it pretty hard to resolve mcbc-dc.org.

Fix the packet filter or routing problem with ns2.wppi.net so that
queries can actually get to it, then allow the world to query your
zones. What does named.conf look like on ns1?
